I have installed it but i could not figure out how it works. In my case nothing happens after click on the Google Translate icon. A single screenshot without any documentation is not enough. It is also hard to find the Google Translate window as you described on your plugin page. I recon that page is only for system administrators and not for speech students. Or for Anki developers and not for Anki beginners.

A better description for totally Anki noobs would be appreciate. Thank you!

Screenshot ouf your description how it should work. There's just marked an icon of Google Translate but no description of what should happen if clicking on it.

Thank you for leaving the message on GitHub. To make it easier, I created a new issue. If you didn't see my reply on AnkiWeb, I'll repeat it here.

Some functionality is new and I only tested it on a few examples. It worked as expected but maybe it doesn't work if I input different values.

Here's a quick video how to use the add-on to translate a field or a batch of fields - https://imgur.com/a/VMpCixr

If you marked the checkbox "Overwrite if not empty?", but still got no results, I think I'll need to know what text you're trying to translate and what options did you use in the add-on's window. But firstly, please try to translate the same text with https://translate.google.com/ to see if it works there or not.
